#I... don't remember her last name noooo

Outfit swap ft @drinkme-gt's Glen and (Freya)!

I am thinking about them, I am rotating them, I am spinning them at the speed of sound-

[alexas-fandom-and-random-blog]

Well it's late night for me and helluva Boss Mastermind episode just dropped and I'm kinda in the mood to do a live reaction to text of first and honest impressions thingie. So let's go!!

------

Awww. Loona hesitating to burn their first job pic was precious❤️

Holy shit okay Satan's design is the first Sin I actually legit adore! Freaking amazing!😳

Can the the rip-off-Elsa brother (won't bother remembering the name) PLEASE stop calling Stella hot? Neither funny, nor character driven just really freaking creepy! Stop!

Vasago first impression. Uuuh okay? Is the gimmick he's simply gonna talk to another language.

STRIKER JUMPSCARE!!!!

Hiiii baby!! Looking good in that suit! Daaaamn! Good to see ya!~🥴

Warning up to the new VA each episode ngl. Doing a sexy job with it😚

I can't decide if I love or hate the "LINE?" joke... Could work as him not giving a fuck to spell the "fancy" word I guess😆 but mostly it makes him look kinda stupid so yeah... not a fan.

Whatever, moving on!

Tone down Moxxie pulling uwu and crying faces please? Just a bit. It's too much is all I'm saying. He's baby but like it's not endearing if you do it constantly 😢

Animation is so gorgeous tho as always. How rip-off-Elsa moves and uses his power is so smooth!

So Striker just made a guest appearance and fucked off with a wicked smile. I can't!😆

I mean good for him for getting that immunity deal but not even a tiny bit of verbal interaction with I.M.P? Moxxie? Anything? No?? You're killing me man. I am robbed and inconsolable 😭

The Sins interactions are mostly annoying but lmao at Mammon's clown noises bahahahah! Love it!

Uuuh Satan's voice might be doing things to me👉👈

Goddamn his design is amazing too!

Fizz!!! He's trying! Bless his heart he cares about his friend a lot imma cry!

Oh wow! Kudos to Blitzo for giving that speech. Dare we see social commentary that actually hits? And he's using it to save his family? Respect!

The guards are threatening af! I love how creepily slow they move and how that one touched Blitzo after the execution announcement was so foreboding. Really good way to convey the imminent danger. Niiice!

Muzzle on Loona just showing how little she's allowed to be. Even lower than the imps basically. This is sad.

Stolas to the rescue! Ye- Song? OhmyGod🤦 nah man just... okay whatever I'm skipping it, it feels really awkward to have in this situation.

Skip skip skip

Okay no back up back up. Satan singing???

That's-

....

No still don't care about it, too awkward sorry.

Skip skip skip

"This is a sturdy door"

Frick that caught me off guard! 🤣🤣🤣

Oh my god noooo. Via making that sound while crying broke my heart!!! Poor Baby bird!😢

Yeah see having Stella be non abusive and manipulative with her is an amazing idea and I love it but goddamn it, it doesn't work if you present her as absolutely brain-dead and obvious about everything the rest of the time!!!!

...well that was embarrassing 😂

Actually felt more bad about Stolas assuming he'd be sacrificed than the sacrifice itself.

Heroic I know but holy shit 🤣

Really love Satan's entire schtick. Very much a fan! The guy is so entertaining to watch!

Vasago really didn't do much in the end besides fanboy over Stolas did he?😆

"For the next 100 years"

Bahahahahahahahah!!! Get fucked rip-off-Elsa lmaoo!!! That bit was gold!!

And Stolas is common folk now. Okay I guess. I'm very neutral about that.🤷

Ohooo?? Blitzo actually getting support from this whole ordeal?? Oh kudos! Great direction! Very much support it!

More of soft Loona yes!!🥺❤️

(and I'll be willing to pretend the kicking his balls awful nonsense never happened 🙄)

Ah the last scene with Stolas? That was actually so very soft and sweet. Beautiful quiet moment to close off to

----

And that was it🫠

Whelp I didn't think I'd have this many reactions watching the episode.

Overall not bad. I'm going to bed now tho I'm tired🥱

Oh And in conclusion:

Bring Striker back soon!!!!🙏

Goodnight!

[bookdragon-shenanigans]

I just read the fourth wing bonus chapter and MAN. I knew I wasn't Xaden's biggest fan before but MAN. I honestly don't even know how they ruined a character with so much potential is beyond my understanding???? Xaden is straight up unlikable in the chapter. So many issues in the chapter.

[Caution: Listen, I love Xaden, truly. But he really makes me want to beat him up I'm sorry]

Opinions so far: (Warning: This is not Xaden-friendly I might be a major bitch for 80% 😭)

The chapter felt kind of unnecessary?? Like even if it was a cash grab (which I agree but that's not the point rn) did we really need a bonus chapter that's just the same chapter but just rewritten with some occasional Xaden comments? We could've gotten a new interaction but noooo

With the amount of obsessing talking Xaden does about Dain, you'd think Dain was the one he has a crush on. No because stop this you're literally doing the same thing you accuse everyone of doing to you. "Everyone judges the marked kids just because of what our parents did 🥺🥺👉👈" ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW??? Why are you being such a pissy bitch over the fact that he thinks you're bad for her when you literally agree???. [Coherent me update: In hindsight Xaden going out of his way to annoy Dain for entertainment is hilarious not gonna lie. Still think he was being a bitch tho]

The Imogen was missing plotline. Seriously? "Imogen was sick"?? They could just be like oh no she wiped everyone's memories so they don't remember because there is zero canon connection in her being sick. Also the fandom was spot on 💅. To be fair, I can excuse this one.

Xaden's "strategy". Why are we acting like battle strategy is a multiple choice question with one answer??? Where is the common sense?? Where is the individuality??? Where is the originality???

I just noticed this now but WHY IS THE CONTINENT THEY LIVE IN LITERALLY CALLED The Continent???? WHY ARE THEY ACTING LIKE THEY LIVE ALONE IN THE WORLD HELP

FINALLY Emery's last name

Okay I actually like passively possessive simp Xaden because let's be fr he's not noticing anyone other than Violet. He's really acting like the stupid hormonal emo 23 year old he his and I love him for that.

Xaden not understanding sibling dynamics is top tier I love this. Like this man is standing there so confused like 🧍‍♂️.

Highkey confused at the Lewellen part because I'm pretty sure they were fostered by Lindell?? Either this is shitty writing or a case of an unreliable narrator. Who knows. Not me.

SGAEYL. THAT'S IT. 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐

"Violet would get over her sister's death eventually" CALM TF DOWN SIR. This is a civilized conversation. Okay but like someone needs to tell these people that murder doesn't solve everything. It's not even the best form of revenge 😭😭😭

I need more backstory on the Cygnis flier drama. Why only that province??? How come other provinces are safe??

"Wasn't my choice," I shrug. Lying is easy, except when it comes to Violet. I haven't quite figured that one out yet. Excuse me what

Okay, I know this is OS buildup but why were the wards down???

"Was it us?" LIAM. MY SWEET BABY BOY ILY YOU'RE THE BEST.

Okay I just realized now that Dain only name drops Rhiannon, Ridoc and Sawyer when he mentions the first years and man how did I not notice that before-

Lots of suspicious stuff. Lots.

IT HAS COME TO MY NOTICE THAT THERE IS A VERY HIGH AMOUNT OF MIRA DYING MENTIONED IN THE CHAPTER AND I DO NOT LIKE IT AT ALL

The bottom line is that I've read too much fanfiction and set my standards too high 😭😭

Anyways stan Liam my sweet summer child 🛐🛐

Update: I just came back from my exam and took a look at what I wrote here and help why was 5am me so salty 😭😭

[deerdiaryz]

decided to send you my tc story since i found ur account <3 I took my man's class last year but I've known about him since the year before that (known since 10th, taken 11th) and I didn't like him at first but the middle of 11th I started finding him attractive. We make eye contact nearly everyday even though I don't take his class since he will walk into other classes that I have and will either talk to me or stare at me. My school allows you to be a teacher's assistant during your study hall and not only did he ask me if I wanted to be his teacher's assist but he got visibly upset when I said I couldn't;He says I act like I'm his wife (I call him by his first name and start complaining I CAN'T); When I did take his class he would pick me specifically would openly say that he loved talking to me and hearing what I have to say. One time I asked him to help me with some work and he whispered in my ear "atta girl" and "good girl" when I got stuff correct ANDDDD finally, another time I was doing work at his desk (charging my computer w his outlet) and a girl made a joke that we were dating and started singing the little song (sitting in a tree, yes i know it sounds unreal but it happened) and I gave her a look because...at our big age? BUT, he not only didn't deny or comment he looked at me and whispered "just ignore her" WDYM IGNORE HER??? AHHHHHHHH anyways this was really messy and all over the place and maybe i'm a bit delulu but thats my man

FIRST NAME BASIS?? “just ignore her”, “good girl”, ASKING U TO BE HIS TA?? THIS WHOLE THING??? UR LIVING THE DREAM NOOOO i remember once my old tc was walking down the halls my friend started singing that tree song LIKE STOP.

Pet Names - PB

thank you guys for being so patient! i didn't forget about my girl don't worry!!!

i am once again using soft!gf as inspo i literally cannot stop

i'm also making babe/baby/honey standard from here on out, that being said, i WILL be going back and updating Julien and Lucy's accordingly

rpf smut under da cut - minors gtfo

Darling/Sweetheart - soft!phoebe lives for traditional pet names. there is something in the domesticity of it all that she loves and chases after. these names give soft!pheebs, morning!pheebs, bedtime!pheebs and i will gladly accept discussion but nothing can change my mind. there isnt anything sexual about them in my mind with phoebe, simply because she is using them first thing in the morning, like she left the window open accidentally last night so you, maxine and phoebe are huddled together, your cold foot rubs her leg and she's like "shit sweetheart, are you cold?" in like the raspiest, softest murmur ever. also half asleep, eyes shut, just places repetitive pecks on your temple before whispering, "goodnight darling" and holding you close.

Pretty/Pretty girl - phoebe greets you with the "hi pretty!" often. she's running off after her first eras show and straight into you arms being like, "hi pretty! how did i do?" beaming and kissing you firmly on the lips. maybe she's at the studio with lucy and julien or her band and she's writing, utterly exhausted and you walk in with a pick me up and she's instantly lighting up, "hey pretty girl, im so happy to see you!" before kissing your hair.

okay hear me out im workshopping this but... phoebe with a strap, you're on all fours but she's making YOU move back against her and she's being so stubborn because she could push you down and fuck you but noooo, "if you want it pretty you have to work for it," and eventually you'll be whining so much that dom!phoebe is like scoffing and pulling your hips, finally starting to thrust into you, "alright okay, fine, i'll fuck you pretty girl, no need to whine."

Dove - @whore4munagenius and i both had this on our list (twins). they had mentioned animal pet names like ladybug, dove, puppy, all of which i think phoebe would fw. i had it on my list because of the bird and dog metaphors and just bird symbolism in relationships like doves, lovebird, and swans. i think she loves the animal nicknames and uses them when it's just the two of you and she can be a little softer and more connected with you. it's not that she's embarassed by the names but it's not like she's gonna call you puppy or bunny at the dmv, ya know? I think she writes dove more than she says it, like she's putting 'to: dove, love: pheebs' on your birthday or holiday gifts.

My girl - the classic, very boyfriend!phoebe. always saying stuff like "there's my girl!" or "look at my girls," when talking about you and maxine. has a "this is her" photo of you on her phone, "this is my girl," and she would be SO proud of it too. if she's not referencing you as her partner, she's saying "my girl", and it flows into her friendships like the possessiveness of the name makes its way into her music like maybe the boys are performing and julien is introducing a song and is like "your girl loves this one," and phoebe is like "yeah she does," IDK I THINK ITS CUTE

she 1000% uses 'my girl' in a mocking way, mean!phoebe doesn't mess around and she's telling you to grind on her thigh but you're so desperate you can't get a rhythm going and she's just sighing being like, "c'mon...i know my girl can do better than that," before her hands grip your hips harshly and start to rock you

BONUS - Bro/Dude/Man - Pheebs canonically calls everyone any of these names but remember soft!gf is the boss and there's a difference between being at a dinner or something and phoebe is showing everyone a video, "bro look at this," where soft!gf is in the group. but if y'all are at home and phoebe is getting maxine ready for a walk and asks "can you hand me her leash, dude?" soft!gf just gives her a look like 'who do you think you're talking to rn?' and phoebe is up immediately, "sorry pretty girl," kissing her lips passionately

summary from last update

aka, what had happened was --

(note -- I'm gonna call The Werewolf by his actual name Vin(cent) because that's a lot of letters even though he wasn't formally named at this point.)

John is finally declared dead after 2 hours from his heart stopping.

obviously, everyone's disappointed. Daniel's like "bruh, I told you this was gonna happen but NOOOO, you didn't listen to me"

subsequently, everyone gets deeply annoyed by Daniel except Jordan (because they're being nice)... but it's also 3 in the morning. Charles agrees to break and now he's gotta figure out what to tell Noelle that her perfectly fine son is now dead as a doornail.

but wait!

Jordan asks The Worst Question You Can Ask In A Horror Story after they notice something's off about John. In fact, they do the second worst thing you can do in a horror story.

you know how in resident evil 2 (remake? this may have been in the OG) and you walk past a zombie that you think it's dead?

haha surprise bitch, it's ya boy Vin/The Werewolf. turns out, he was mostly dead.

Vin stares up at them with those BIG dead fish lookin' eyes. Creepiest shit he's ever done.

because Jordan is the closest, they are the first to get got as they get their windpipe crushed AND their throat slashed. honestly, they got the least worst death by a country mile.

Bernard is next, getting taken out by Vin literally jumping off the surgery table like off of a top rope of an WWE match. Bernard has the 'well maybe that was out of pocket' case of death -- Vin smashes his head in. Leaves a big ass crack on the floor.

talk shit, get your jaw literally cracked off

Then --

Vin is like 'okay I'm warmed up, now it's just you two fuckers' (aka Daniel and Charles)

We find out that Daniel is, for intents and purposes, a pussy because of his general behavior. He tries to throw Charles under the bus but Charles does it right back without blinking. Vin claws the shit out of him and blinds him in his right eye but that doesn't seem to phase him as he tries to rise up to Vin with a syringe full of stuff that could take Vin out or at least, stun him.

if you remember, this is a call back and Vin got punched in the gut with one and it knocked him out. Keep this in mind.

Vin has had enough and not only does he choke out Daniel (insert Dr. Doofenshmirtz meme) he yeets him into the wall with the one way mirrors.

Thomas and Mark are freaking out on the other side of them. Vin can hear them both and tells them 'hey. I don't have beef with yall, but don't come in here or else you're gonna die'.

Daniel wants Vin to just kill him already and Vin is :)...

as he shoves his arm deep into Daniel's chest. this doesn't kill him immediately.

I'll say it -- if you think 'hey, this looks like some metaphorical--' yes, you are correct. Like come on, Vin's in there in his guts, pinned against the wall talking into his ear and shit, establishing dominance, calling him a pussy (again? idk Vin does this a lot in this update)

Thomas got the gun and he's like 'Imma go save Charles; call the guards' and Mark is begging him not to go as staying right the fuck over there means that they won't get killed.

Vin continues to roast Daniel and really, Daniel's got nothing to say other than 'fuck you!' as a 'nuh-uh' deal... and Vin kills him by tearing his heart out.

Meanwhile! Charles was observing the whole thing and now he's realizing things as Vin is taking a little break to talk to him...

... with Daniel's still beating heart in his hand. He says he's a little hungry with all that's he's been doing and since he's not one to waste his food... (ngl, I'm proud of this bc I used an effect to Great effect.)

aaaaaand he eats the heart. He was a messy bitch about it too because blood is all over his face, teeth, got some on his pants...

Charles realizes that he has fucked around and now he's gonna find out.

But wait! The lab door opens! It's Thomas with the gun!

...and he's scared shitless. Vin gets pissed off at him because he specifically told him and Mark to stay on the other side; now he's in there and Vin's gonna kill him on the account of him being stupid. you can't say Vin wasn't being fair here.

Charles tries to get Thomas to shoot Vin but he's too scared and fights him to get the gun. Gun is fired as they struggle. Doesn't take much but Charles manages to get the gun and domes Thomas in the head.

Well, Vin did say he was gonna die... but not by him.

Charles gets into villain mode saying the (silver) bullets may disrupt what's left of Vin's HF (healing factor) and may actually kill him... but it doesn't because. there's no bullets left. WHOOPS. Vin mocks him and Charles tries to run away (to where??) but in the struggle, he got shot on the side so he hobbles then crawls away

Vin slowly follows Charles and corners him... and notices something about him that's a little weird. Charles got the balls to be asking for mercy.

aaaand that's the summary.

tl;dr -- John declared dead, haha just kidding, Vin/The Werewolf turbo kills everybody in the lab except Charles.

[Sans x Female!Reader]

10: I'm Packing Up My Pie and Leaving

♪⁠────✿⁠(⁠✧◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕✧⁠)✿⁠────♪

Toriel’s behavior has been a little strange after returning from hanging out with Napstablook.

For starters…

”Wha-Hey, why are you packing away my stuff??” You ask frantically, running into your room.

Is this it? Is she finally bored of you and kicking you out? You’re not going to lie, you just assumed you would live the rest of your days with Toriel. MAYBE that would’ve changed if Frisk decided to show up, but MAYBE. You didn’t expect to come home to see Toriel in your room, packing up your clothes in a suitcase.

You thought… You thought when she called you her child, that she meant it. That when she showed you her soul, and she accepted yours, that it meant she actually cared about you the way you genuinely cared for her.

The goat monster stands up hastily, turning around to look at you with wide eyes. “[Y/n]…! I didn’t expect you to be back so soon-”

Her words get caught in her throat at your rapidly growing tears.

”No, no. Just… tell me what I need to do to change, okay?” Your voice wavers as your tears fall easily down your cheeks, “Just tell me what it is, and I’ll do it.”

“[Y/n]-”

”No, Tori. You make me happy.” Your chest heaves at your attempt to withhold a sob,  “Please don’t throw me away.”

Soft, warm arms pull you into an embrace. Your face is tucked in the crook of Toriel’s soft neck as her arms hold you tight.

“No, no! Oh, my sweet child, I’m not throwing you away-I’m not getting rid of you,” Her soul aches at your rapidly spiraling thoughts, she couldn’t bear seeing you cry and being the reason why. “Oh, [Y/n]. Please do not cry, it’s not what it seems.”

Your hands clutch at the fabric on the back of her dress, “But… But why are you…?”

“I had planned to sit you down to talk to you about it, but you came back so soon,” Toriel gently redirects you to the bed, doing her best not to trip since she doesn’t want to let you go. “I just… We need to address your stay here, specifically in the Ruins.”

You pull away finally once you two are sitting down. Your face is hot in slight embarrassment and shame from crying so easily. Your period ended yesterday, but you’re still allowed to blame it, right?

“I know that you’re adamant about staying here, and from the depths of my soul, it means so much to me that you want to stay with me,” She wipes your teary eyes with her sleeves, “But you and I both know you’re getting rather depressed staying here already.”

You grimace at her blunt words, but say nothing to refute them because she’s right.

”You will remain unhappy if you are trapped here. The Ruins are very small once you get used to them. As much as I am hesitant about it, I think it would be in your best interest if perhaps you finally venture out of this place.” Toriel smiles, squishing your cheeks slightly with her fuzzy hands, “That’s not to say you’re not allowed to come back. I very much would like it if you would visit from time to time, and call every once in a while.”

”What’s even past the Ruins?” You ask like a fake bitch because you know damn well.

”There’s a small town called Snowdin. Last I remember is that it’s not very populated, and the folks are rather kind. Just as the name implies, it’s cold all year ‘round, and the entire place is covered in snow.”

You gnaw at your bottom lip, “But… What if I run into that flower again? I’m not a fighter, Toriel, but I’m not going to let myself get killed if it comes to it.”

She shakes her head, “I was just about to get to that. I have a friend that lives in Snowdin, and he’s agreed to not only watch over you and protect you, but to also let you stay with him and his brother as long as you’re there.”

…

WHAT?! NOOOO!!! YOU’RE SURE THIS IS SOMEONE’S LIFE LONG DREAM, BUT THAT MOTHER FUCKER SCARES YOU EVEN MORE NOW THAT HE’S REAL!!

Oh God, if he ever finds out that you know more than you “should,” he’s going to fucking kill you! You just know it!

You must’ve had some kind of negative expression on your face because Toriel chuckles and rubs her thumb against the crease of your furrowed brows.

“You need not worry about him. He’s kind and even shares some of your humor. I have a feeling you two would get along if you’re open to it.”

“I’ll… ah, I’ll try.” You look off to the floor to your packed clothes, “You were packing up my things now because once I got back and we had the talk, I was supposed to leave right after, right?”

”Yes, that was the plan. My friend will be waiting right outside the Ruins soon enough. He’ll also be escorting you to Snowdin town to ensure you get there safely.”

You somehow doubt that.

“I’ll admit that I’m a little scared. I really only trust you and Blooky, and now I’m gonna be staying with…Wait, what’s his name?”

“Ah… Ah-ha ha…” Toriel looks away bashfully, “I’m not actually sure. I’ve never asked for his name after all this time. I never told him mine either.”

Bruh. She’s so lucky you already know, but still!

Your deadpan expression makes her blush.

“Don’t look at me like that.” Toriel gently takes your hands, “You understand now, yes? This is for the best, [Y/n].”

You frown, “Yeah. I guess it is. I’m going to miss you a lot, Tori. I mean, who’s going to tell me about the 72 uses for snails while we go bug-hunting at your favorite bug-hunting spot?”

“I’m sure you will manage,” Her smile softens, “I will miss you greatly as well, my child. You make me so happy whenever you are by my side, but knowing that you are going to be happier somewhere else will make me happiest.”

“Now, then,” She sighs and looks at the floor, “let’s finish this up. My friend will be expecting us soon and we should not keep him waiting.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll get my things from the bathroom.”

“By the way, [Y/n].”

”Yes?”

“Why did you return early? You were only gone for an hour.”

”Ahh, right.” You nod in recollection, “Apparently, Blooky works at some snail farm, and he got a call from his loyal customer. He was there waiting for him, so after he brought me back he had to go.”

“…A snail farm?”

”Ha ha! I bet that sounds like heaven to you!”

────

If you and Toriel took a little longer to actually get your things ready and also had lunch together because you didn’t want to part from each other, that’s between you and the lord.

While you two were packing, you had your souls out to hover above your chests. With Toriel expending some of her magic, you guys were able to enjoy each other’s music. Near the end of your song (because of course it would loop, Toriel’s song loops as well), there’s a big drop that gives you chills each time. You and the Goat Mom of the Year™ always made a big show of it too, doing one, big, dramatic head bang no matter what you were busy doing.

You’re surprised that Toriel is going to let you visit, and encourages you to call her. And even though this goodbye isn’t forever…

You’re really going to miss her.

With a suitcase being dragged behind yourself with a whole Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie packed in there, you and Toriel descend into the basement.

(“No, my child. You cannot eat all of the pie by yourself. This is also for my friend and his brother as a thank you.”

“They wouldn’t appreciate it the way I would.”

“[Y/n].”

”Okay, okay. I’ll share it.”)

You’ve never actually been down here before since there was no need for it. You never asked, so Toriel never told. You knew anyway of course, but just like everything else in the Underground, things looked different in real life.

“Once you reach Snowdin and get settled in, call me, won’t you?” She asks as you draw closer to the large, double doors.

You nod with a grin, ”Yeah, of course I will. I might spend the first few days just looking for work, so don’t expect any crazy adventures right off the bat.”

”I hear there is a library in Snowdin. Maybe you can try finding a position there.”

Uh, you were thinking more of working at the shop with the nice bunny monster lady, but sure! That works too!

“If that’s the case then I’ll rent out some books I think you’ll like and bring ‘em to you, promise,” You scrunch up your nose, “I can tell you’ve been reading those same ones since forever.”

“I would greatly appreciate that, my child.”

You slow to a stop at the imposing doors, the Delta Rune (vine boom sound) marks the top middle but has faded slightly over time. The silence is loud for a few seconds, but Toriel manages to get the strength to speak first.

“Here we are,” She faces you with a sad smile, “Strange. When we officially first met, I would have never imagined that our bond would have grown as strong as it did. Now, I cannot imagine a world where I do not know you.”

…Ouch. That was supposed to be a very sweet statement, but because you are burden with certain knowledge, those words make you a little sad. Toriel says it with so much certainty, but you’ve seen a world where it’s just not true.

Despite that, there’s also a warm feeling you get too. That you truly matter to her so much. If this is just some dream that’s lasting forever, or if this really is your reality now, this bond you’ve built is real.

You pull Toriel into a hug, smiling when she reciprocates it immediately. You don’t know if what you say next is allowed, or if it’s okay with Toriel, but you say it anyway.

”I’ll see you soon, mom,” You hum softly, “I love you.”

Toriel tightens her arms, “And I love you, my child. Be good, alright?”

YOU’RE NOT GONNA CRY. YOU’RE NOT GONNA CRY. YOU’RE NOT GONNA CRY. YOU’RE NOT GONNA CRY-

Your goat mom pulls away slowly, her kind, brown eyes glossy with tears. “If my friend gives you trouble, or if you find yourself in any trouble, just call me and I will personally resolve the issue.”

You snort at the mental image of Toriel hitting Sans with the chancla like your other mother used to do to you and your brothers.

“I will. I might call and complain about him anyway because I’m a huge man hater like that.”

”But you like Napstablook, don’t you?”

”That’s different. He’s just a little guy.”

You know what? Toriel can’t even argue with that.

“Fair enough.” Toriel sighs, fixing up your shawl, “You best get going now. My friend is most certainly waiting at this point, and I don’t want your tardiness to leave a bad impression on him.”

“Okay, okay.”

Since you’re heading to Snowdin, you (and Toriel) made sure to wear warm clothes so you don’t get sick and perish in the snow. You had bought the dress a week ago, and with Toriel’s help, modified it to fit your taste and measurements properly. It’s actually cute and makes you feel very pussy vagina slay.

The dark navy blue dress is thick and soft, stopping just at your knees. The sleeves are also long with the cuffs being white and thick (that’s what she said) and the neckline going straight across to leave your chest and shoulders exposed. Your leggings are black in color, matching with your boots that you originally arrived in. The dress also came with a matching shawl with a bow to keep it clasped shut. The bottom of the dress is white and fuzzy, same with the shawl, giving it a very cliche winter dress vibe.

You suppose that’s the point though. You’re not usually this fancy, but you guess your friend Elliot’s fashion sense is starting to rub off on you.

You grab the handle of your suitcase as Toriel opens the doors for you. You sigh heavily, stepping up to the opened doors. The hallway is long, leading into a dark area.

”Keep going straight. In that room,” Toriel tells you, pointing ahead, “are the doors that lead out the Ruins. My friend will be right outside, alright?”

“Yes, meemaw.”

She giggles at the name, giving you one last hug. Nothing else needs to be said; you drag your suitcase and walk through the doors. You’re only a few seconds down this hall when you hear the doors behind you close softly.

Great.

You harden your resolve and continue down the Hallway of Independence 2.0. Further down you can now see more into the last room, a dark place with a convenient spotlight in a patch of grass.

You stop walking.

Shit.

You completely forgot that Flowey shows up there to talk about how much of a beta cuck he is. If you’re lucky, he won’t show up at all. But if life decides to give you another challenge…

Well, you’re sure the suitcase can be used to bash his head in.

Politely, of course.

Your steps are quicker, descending down the hall with the lightning carpet being your indicator that this hallway doesn’t actually go on forever. You eye the entryway with suspicion, stepping into the dark room-

A large, golden flower emerges from grass, an annoyed expression on his fugly ass face.

“Clever. Verrrryyy clever.”

”Oh, Goddamn it, Flowey!” You scowl, “I barely stepped into this room, what the hell do you want now?”

“You think you’re really smart, don’t you? Hiding behind Toriel this whole time just because you’re too cowardly to see me again.” He tilts his head with a sinister smile, “So you were able to play by your own rules. But that didn’t last very long, did it? Now, that monster got tired of you and is throwing you out.”

…Does Flowey not know the real reason why you’re leaving? Far be it from you to ruin the story in his head, he seems to be having fun coming up with his own lies. You know what? More power to him.

“We all gotta leave the nest someday,” You tell him, “Sometimes… doing the same thing over and over again can get boring. Don’t you agree?”

His smile becomes strained, “I had a lot of time to think about it, but there’s no way it’s coincidental. You know what’s going on here, more than you’re willing to tell me.”

“Dude. You almost fucking killed me a month ago. No shit I’m not gonna tell you anything.” Speaking of, you lean over a bit since he’s so fucking short. “I’m kinda curious, though. Unless you’re trying to surprise attack me, why haven’t you killed me yet? I mean, it’s just you and me here.”

”Hah! It’s like you said. Doing the same thing over and over gets so boring. I decided I’m going to let you live, and see how this plays out. Nothing new has happened in years, and whatever the hell is wrong with you will be the only entertainment I can get.”

You deadpan, “Glad I can amuse you with my mental illness.”

At this, Flowey lets out a more genuine laugh, but quickly covers it up with that evil high pitched laugh he always does.

”Oh, this is SO much more interesting.”

And just like that, the soulless monster disappears beneath the Earth, leaving you alone with said mental illnesses. You sigh again, the tension and anxiety now leaving your body and already leaving you mentally drained.

Just up ahead are the doors leading to Snowdin’s forest. And, according to Toriel, Sans is waiting just outside.

God, you are NOT ready for this. Papyrus, you can handle. He’s just a misunderstood little man who often gets the short end of the stick because he tends to get dumbfounded by his own ineptness.

SANS, ON THE OTHER MOTHER FUCKING HAND.

Look, he’s cool. One of your favorite’s in the game. Keywords: IN THE GAME. You know the fandom tends to make him a little more angsty than he is sometimes, but he can still fuck you up if you give him a reason to. You think you’re decent to get along with, but you can recognize if you and someone else will bump heads.

Toriel said Sans was willing to watch over you and house you, but you’re not sure if you’re entirely comfortable with that. Hopefully, you can try convincing him to lie to Toriel and let you stay at that Inn instead of his house.

You grab the handle of your suitcase again. Taking a deep breath, you walk up to the doors and push them open.

Some Tincrow Moments From The Wiz Production I Just Saw While It’s Fresh In My Mind

Note: I had never seen the stage version of The Wiz before last night, so I could be missing things and points. Also, my memory might be just a bit fuzzy on exact details, but I know this stuff mention did indeed happen at some point.

Avery Wilson was Scarecrow and Phillip Johnson Richardson was Tinman. They absolutely killed it. Everyone did. I’m going to need a cast album and pro-shot please!

Scarecrow is a dance God once they get him off the poll in time for “You Can’t Win”. Why they kept Michael Jackson on a damn poll in the movie despite the fact that his dance moves would've been really cool for Scarecrow, I’ll never know.

This is the first direct Oz retelling I’ve seen to give Scarecrow a human backstory (Wicked is more of/better off seen as it’s own thing in my opinion). He was once a scientist who got his brain taken by one of the witches and turned into a Scarecrow. I don’t remember if it’s mentioned if he had a family in this show—it might’ve not been—but if he did I guess he would’ve completely forgotten because he “has no brain”. And I might be wrong, but I think it was mentioned he had a name too, but if so I don’t remember it. I find that interesting and fun to play with, especially if one would be able to compare and contrast that with Nick Chopper’s backstory (and/or whatever the Tinman’s name might be in this version of Oz; guy collects names like candy). I would have to see The Wiz again in order to do that myself, but you know, I like the idea.

Tinman’s backstory is slightly different. He was too gay and sassy for his own good, saying one of the witches was a “rusty” singer, causing her to turn him from a lumberjack into a “heartless” Tinman who gradually lost almost all of his memories outside of the mere fact that he once had a family due to this curse. He thinks he doesn’t have a heart because he can’t remember the ones he loved, just that he used to. Nimmie Amee isn’t a part of his story in this show. That’s about as tragic as the backstory Baum gave him, if not worse.

Give me an angst with a happy ending AU where Tinman and Scarecrow knew each other as humans but both forgot due to their curses, only to rediscover each other through their found families. Imagine Scarecrow having Nimmie Amee’s original role in a way—noooo—

Scarecrow mimicking Tinman’s rusty dance moves while they oil him (he mimicked a lot of people throughout the show—Dorothy, the wizard’s announcers calling his name, maybe etc., so I guess it was just his cute little thing).

When Dorothy’s trying to convince the gang to bring Lion along Tinman says “Are you sure? We already have to bring Captain Brainless?” (or something a lot like that, I'm paraphrasing), thinking they had too many already as if his husband wasn't first in line on the journey before him, only for Scarecrow to say, “I’m captain?!?!” *Insert cute happy head waggles* (Hits different when you know Scarecrow becomes the ruler of Oz after the first book till Ozma’s found, but his leadership wasn't mentioned in The Wiz so maybe that's not on purpose) I adore Avery Wilson’s take on Scarecrow. Tinman has always been my favorite of Dorothy’s friends if I had to pick one, but Wilson’s performance really made Scarecrow stand out even more than usual. I don’t know if I can explain it, it might just have to be seen; pray there’s a slime tutorial out there.

Lion’s kinda gay too, but in solo. And I know Ozma’s not here, so there’s not really any evidence for Dorothy’s queerness… but she is—I can feel it in my lesbian soul, okay!?!?

All of Dorothy’s friends not only want their gifts, but don't see the point in their existences without them. It made me sad for them.

I don’t know where to mention it, but Toto’s not in this show at all—poor guy. EDIT: I just learned that in the original production, Toto was played by a white dog as a joke that there was an all-black cast as opposed to him traditionally being a black/brown dog with a white cast. That is hilarious—why didn't they recreate that???

Tincrow’s only straight-feeling moment is with them both being distracted by the poppies (which caught me off guard in this show because traditionally Scarecrow and Tinman are the only ones not affected by the poppies because they’re not flesh and blood like Dorothy, Lion, and Toto; in this Dorothy was the one to break everyone free from them. I’ve been trying to understand the purpose of this change. Maybe to give Dorothy a bit more agency). The poppies were these sensual flower ladies trying to convince the gang to be lazy, which on it’s own is a fun twist on the flowers that put Dorothy and Lion to sleep. But hey, maybe that makes it not straight, just lazy. I'm all for Bi4Bi Tincrow too.

After the Kalidahs attack they comfort and hype each other and Dorothy up (Dorothy’s their sapphic adopted daughter, in this essay, I will—).

I forget when exactly this happens, maybe during the Kalidahs scene, but at one point they casually cling to each other's arms for no(?) reason. They just met and they’re already married.

Scarecrow backup-singing a little before everyone else joins Tinman during “What Would I Do If I Could Feel” (at least at my showing, I don’t know if this is a regular occurrence as a part of the show or just something that happened to happen at mine).

Making fun of the Wicked Witch together, calling her smelly, and having Lion join in. Bros, that’s what got you in trouble to begin with—messing with a dang witch!

Interestingly, the idea of Dorothy’s friends having they’re gifts all along isn’t here. Instead, it’s implied that after they kill the last wicked witch the curse is mostly lifted, with Tincrow’s gifts returning to them, but they stay a scarecrow and tin-man for some reason. I like to think they still had them all along though, that idea’s too cute and sweet for me to let go of.

The last time we see them they leave the stage together, Lion going ahead of them to reunite with his mom. I can’t explain why this feels important to me. I guess because usually characters exit the stage individually as like a goodbye queue to the audience, knowing that that last step off the stage will detemand the last impression of the characters. So the fact that the last impression of both of them is them together feels special. Or maybe it’s just me.

They both had such sassy black queer vibes the whole time. The show itself already has such sass, but both of them, Scarecrow especially, were oozing it in different fonts. They were giving off bear x twink—or maybe otter couple vibes.

Gay or not, The Wiz is so great! I recommend it so much!

Last Twilight ภาพนายไม่เคยลืม Ep 4

This show continues to impress me a LOT, and I've got thoughts on P'Aof-ian structure and themes, but right now I'm just all up in my feelings.

Anyway! got carried away an distracted midway through, but here's the liveblog, you know the deal. (for anyone who doesn't: I try to watch largely without subs, so I'll inevitably end up romanising names in different ways from the subs. sometimes I remember to go back and 'fix' that, sometimes I don't.)

they seem to be emphasising sounds in this scene, I like that

oh we're ASKING now

the emphasis on other senses! SENSES!!! I love this

FLIRTING

I love this

HIS FRIEND

OH car and songs

is that a P'Bird song? that sounds like a P'Bird song (one google search later, turns out IT IS I'm ridiculously proud of myself for guessing right 😂)

[kirasworldofwords]

I don't think I ever really introduced myself here so here goes!

First of all, hi! My name is Kira, but you may call me Kiki if you'd like. On AO3, I'm known as "chiquita_chequito", I'm often there just lingering and reading or writing, lol. I'm 22 years old, German with Polish roots and live in a small German town where nothing ever really happens, lol. I have many interests, like certain anime and F1 (especially that as of late) and consider myself a decent writer at least. You're free to quote and/or correct me on that though, lol.

A few random facts about me:

✨️ I'm neurodivergent! I have OCD, ADD and Autism paired with hyperesthesia and ARFID (I know, I know... I should pick a struggle, but alas).

✨️ I also happen to be queer - bisexual as well as somewhere on the aro-ace gradient plus bigender, to be exact. My pronouns are they/she, meaning I prefer "they/them" but am also okay with "she/her". Anything but "he/him" and "it/its".

✨️ My hyperfixation has been cars (as in the vehicles, not the movie) ever since I was a baby. After my first two words, "Mama" and "No", my third word was "Car" in German - the fourth was "Skodda", as per my mom's telling. Surprise surprise, I still love Škodas. 😂

✨️ I play in a sort of marching band that we call Schalmeienzug, there's no direct translation though. It's really fun! Been there for five years now and still love it. 🫶🏻

✨️ Don't ask me how or why but for whatever reason, I can get any song I want stuck in someone else's brain. It works every damn time with just about anyone and yes, I am quite shameless about it. If I have to suffer through having Spongebob music stuck in my brain, then so do you. I have spoken.

✨️ My sense of humor is... skewed at best, fucking dark at worst. That's it. I refuse to elaborate.

✨️ In my free time, I also study Finnish. Thanks, Käärijä, lmao.

✨️ And yes, I love Eurovision. As a queer European girlie, that's a must, lol.

✨️ Regarding F1, my favorite drivers of the current grid are Oscar Piastri, Daniel Ricciardo (noooo, I don't have a thing for Aussies, wdym [also RIP, I am not okay, even if he's not a driver anymore, I will always love him]), Nico Hülkenberg and Sergio "Checo" Pérez (Christian Horner, when I catch you). Of the old grid I still somewhat remember (I've been watching F1 since childhood days), my favorites used to be Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen and the Nicobergs - aka Nico Rosberg and Nico Hülkenberg. My heart has a special place reserved for Michael Schumacher, though, and it's shaped specifically like his stature. ❤️

✨️ I swear a lot. Like, a lot. I'm not kidding. So... proceed with caution if you're sensitive to that.

✨️ My free time is mainly spent playing video games - I don't have many friends and those I do have don't always have time for me so this is what I revert back to if I don't have somewhere else to be like a performance, lol.

✨️ I drive a black Opel Corsa ecoflex from 2016 and it is my pride and joy. 🫶🏻 Already jokingly told my mom that, if she wants grandkids, she already has one. My car. 😭

✨️ Last but not least, my writing style is quite distinct in the way that I usually write melancholic, if not downright depressing stuff. I guess it's a reflection of my life thus far - again, I will not elaborate.

That should be it from my side for now. If anything else comes into my messy little pea-sized brain, I shall let you know through editing this post - or just completely rewriting it, lmao.

Which means, for now, have a nice one and don't let the bedbugs bite!

- 🍸

Rosalina and Mario across the spider-verse (Yandere Spider-man across the spiderverse x Rosalina and Mario)

Chapter 2

Rosalina fell on top of Mario after he tripped when exiting the black hole, oh and great this isn't even the mushroom kingdom or anywhere familiar to be exact. They were in a dark lab-like building with holes in it.

“Mario, I thought you said this was the portal we came through!” Rosalina snapped, making Luna begin to shake “Oh no, I-I'm sorry Luna” Rosalina apologized to Luna making her calm down.

“Well I was certain this was-” Mario quickly grabbed rosalina's hand and hid behind a large cabinet after hearing footsteps meaning someone was approaching.

Mario motioned for Rosalina to stay quiet and to also keep Luna from making any noise. “Shoot” they heard an unfamiliar voice. “Stay quiet” Mario whispered, hoping whoever was here would leave. 

“Show me what happened” They spoke to the robot and the orange light transmitted a hologram of what had happened to the unfamiliar building.

Mario decided to move a little to get a closer look at the hologram and the stranger. The stranger was definitely female, She was wearing a suit that was mostly black on the lower body and with a white upper body and hoodie and cyan soles.  She skipped through most of the hologram until she got to an important part and Mario decided to watch, thinking maybe he could get answers on how he,Rosalina and Luna ther ein the first place .

The hologram showed some weird looking man as white as a piece of paper carrying random pieces of parts. Mario didn't really pay attention until the last part, Whoever whoever this is, is a villain.

As soon as they started the machine they began to talk “And spiderman I’ll make you pay for everything you took away from me” They stopped for a moment before getting ready to touch the weird black substance with glitchy particles

“Alright this is going to work or vaporize me and everything in this building which would not be good” they then touched whatever the substance was causing the person to be dragged into and caused a large flash of light.

“Replay complete” The monotone voiced robot announced. Rosalina and Mario managed to hear the girl start Quietly saying shoot in anger and her name which was Qwen.

Mario Pulled Rosalina and Luna deeper into the hiding spot when the hologram of a woman appeared. Mario motioned for them to stay as quiet as possible.

Mario felt his eyes widen when a littler version of a hologram said that whoever this villain was, he was making his own portals and could go to any dimension.

Well that explains how they got there. Rosalina and Mario ignored their conversation when the tinier hologram talked again “I got him, he is on earth 51010”. Wait, different Earth has numbers?,they don't remember their earth having a number.

They overheard Gwen talking with the bigger hologram about how she can't see her friend anymore. Rosalina understood her pain of losing someone close to her and she clenched Luna a little tighter not that tight though.

There was a portal behind her, Gwen took off her mask and sighed “Goodbye Miles” Before walking into the portal. “U-uh Mario” Rosalina pointed towards Luna floating towards the portal. Luna looked towards Rosalina only for a subtle breeze to push her inside.

Rosalina cried out “Luna noooo!” She then ran inside the portal after Luna. Mario sighed before following them.

(Reall hope this was good :3

Hello! I've recentlyl found your blog and it's made me so nostalgic. You've managed to find fanart that I thought was lost to time. I was in love with prowl back in 2009 and these days he's a platonic f/o! I ship to optimus and bulkhead now! I'd very much like to hear about your oc! (selfshipping-haven)

AW THANK YOU!! God yeah he was my first real love tbh. I'd had little baby crushes before but Prowl unlocked things in me I didn't even know I had when I discovered TFA in 2011. I didn't even really speak English back then, I didn't understand half of what those guys were even saying but he was everything to me.

I haven't thought about transformers in over a decade until I recently made a new friend who's a fan, and at some point TFA came up and I sort of mentioned that I used to be in love with Prowl, so then one thing led to another and I looked him up just for nostalgia and oh. I remember him. We were in love. Turns out those feelings never left. So here I am.

Thinking back now I realized that there's a lot of things about my personality/me as a person that connect back to Prowl, because kid me wanted to be more like him, and I did, but I completely forgot where it all started. I do love that I succeeded to grow into a person he would like, it means so much to me. Coming back to TFA honestly feels like coming home. Returning to my roots.

Anyway, excuse the autistic rambling <3 I much appreciate this ask, it means a lot that someone actually cares enough to ask!! Looking at your blog though, I don't think you'd like Trixie very much, since her ship/story is pretty fucked up lmao.

I have two OCs I ship with Prowl (HEAR ME OUT LOL) mom said i could have two Prowl ships

So. The first one, Ash, I made when I was 13, and they were a very made-by-autistic-child-esque overpowered self-insert. They had a different name and gender back then because I did too but the concept remains sort of the same: Prowl falls in love with a human, all is good for a while, and then there is an accident that results in Ash nearly dying, becoming techno-organic to save their life, and sporting a huge scar. I thought it was awesome, then later decided it was cringe, and now I realized it's actually based af so I revived them. I am cringe but I am free. Ash is great.

Enjoy a preview. Kitty cat. I love cats more than anything and this is a self insert so of COURSE they have kittycat ears!! Probably processor over matter'd them into existence too through sheer willpower. Because they're neat.

But I did have a phase in I think 2019 where I briefly got back into TFA (but not deeply) and wanted a new OC, because I was in a very sad "noooo you can't ever make anything ✨️cringe✨️" phase. Dark times. I don't know why I let people convince me there could ever be harm in my joy. So I scrapped Ash and made a bot OC instead, because the whole humanxbot thing felt too self-indulgent to be allowed. And thus came Bird. (She also had a different name, but I revamped her completely in the past weeks).

I love Bird. She's honestly my main transformers oc. Bird starts out as a decepticon named PHANTOM-2918-4 (aka Phantom), who's tasked to spy on the Autobots, but over time she instead falls in love with Earth's nature and critters and realizes she wants to protect them, not harm them. Prowl decides to take a chance on her and train her (since Yoketron took a chance on him too). She changes her name to Bird because she loves birds most, since they can fly like her, but the ability isn't associated with evil.

Unlike Ash though, Bird x Prowl doesn't have a good ending because in Bird!canon, the finale still happens. She stays behind on Earth alone after everyone else leaves to protect it and honor Prowl's memory, but he's very much gone. She gets Yoketron's helmet. Their ship song is actually what this blog is named after (Saturn from Sleeping at Last).

[kariachi]

I remembered Couples Retreat exists and just, ugh.

Every character done dirty, especially Mike, and the fucking hoops you have to jump to do Mike dirty- He does a fine job of it all on his own but nooo~

"He totally was chill with Charm at first until he realized he could use her for power" Really? Mike 'never met a girl he didn't intend to eat' Morningstar? Totally had no intentions prior to realizing she made a really good power source?

"Mike, being an asshole, tried to sneak out of Legerdomain to get revenge on the Tennysons" Really? Mike 'my primary goals are power and my looks with revenge maybe third' Morningstar? Who's repeatedly shown to be intelligent and a planner? Just gonna recklessly risk fucking up the easiest access he's ever had to his main goals at the first opportunity? Which in fact leads us to-

"Mike does not bite people, that never happened, no don't you dare look at old episodes-!" This just builds off a regular problem with how Mike is handled, namely that the show decided at some point that it didn't want to engage with the more interesting parts of his design, powers, and MO. And yet do we have anything to indicate he ever bit Charmcaster? Nope. Nope, because that totally wouldn't make him trying to run off make more sense in the story they're trying to tell, Mike first getting Charmcaster on that 'addicted to me' path that was his entire MO when we met him and he was, wait, wait, using girls as power sources. But we can't do that, heavens forbid we carry on with the theming we started him with.

Like, fuck, that would even help with their attempts to paint Charmcaster as this poor innocent soul, but noooo.

"Mike forgot Charmcaster's real name because he's an asshole who doesn't actually care about her" Excuse me?! Fun fact: this was the last straw for me with this episode when I first watched it. I already didn't like it, it was doing the characters dirty and replacing the proper Charm-Mike anti-Gwen team-up I'd wanted to happen since Charm showed up in AF, and then they threw this out there. Which really feels like they wrote themselves into a corner and had to do some sort of savings throw because that's not Mike's brand of asshole. Mike manipulates, it's the half of his fucking MO they let him keep, and he manipulates through fake connections. Mike isn't going to forget a target's name, he's going to remember it and use it constantly so they always feel seen and cared about. Especially after having the biting thing removed from his MO! They're not letting him get people addicted anymore, he has to use methods like that! They really just removed 90% of the fucker's MO!

And this is all by taking the show the way the writers intended it, which includes ignoring the fact that Mike is only in Legerdomain because Charmcaster kidnapped him. And yes, he wanted to go to Legerdomain, but a key fact is that she didn't know that. She didn't know that, and she specifically and openly brought him home because she found him interesting. These two factors, plus no indication of medical care, very firmly a kidnapping make.

Especially when you take into account that she is macking on him from the word go. And by the by can I remind everyone that we have no reason to believe Mike is anything but a peer to the Tennysons and Kevin and Charmcaster is a grown woman even if we don't take into account the time-dissonance going on in Legerdomain that would leave her at minimum in her 30s. Like, "oh Charmcaster's a poor innocent-" Charmcaster kidnapped somebody and immediately dove into making moves on them as soon as they were conscious. Every move until Mike realizes she's a good power source is hers, and each of them he is someone the flirting is being done to not with.

And gods, that's a whole other facet- how the fuck are they expecting me to believe Mike is surprised that Charmcaster makes a good power source? How? They really tried to pull "they energy vampire doesn't realize someone's a good source until they literally kiss him"? Really? Fuck, they expect me to believe that he met somebody running the magic dimension, able to summon great stone beasts, using powerful magics, and wasn't considering they would make a good snack? Really?

Back on topic, back on topic.

Mike woke up in a strange place with a stranger standing over him, macking on him, talking about how he's there because she's interested in him. Mike woke up and was wary as hell through that first scene with Charmcaster.

And then the show tries to play it like he and she bond and get along and he likes her right up until he realizes he can use her to his own ends. And the sudden shift makes no fucking sense. If they were having it where Mike clocked her as a potential target from the start and was playing the part as is his hunting MO, that would make sense. If they were having it where Mike was playing the part because Charmcaster is much more powerful than him, they're on her turf, and the fact there's no other people around when I doubt the books he's read were post-genocides are plenty of reason to not risk pissing off your grooming-inclined kidnapper, that would make sense.

They'd never do it, because even when Charm pulled shit with Kevin there was a healthy dose of 'it's his own fault the asshole' going on, and he's a character we're meant to like, but it would make sense. Fuck, she enslaved a load of people and committed a genocide while bargaining with a Great Old One three episodes ago, the odds she doesn't produce red flags like a factory are low, especially over time.

But the point is we go from 'Mike is wary of this stranger who kidnapped and is macking on him' to 'Mike cares and they're getting close' with nothing in-between. Which can only see working from where it is because the show refuses to acknowledge how Charmcaster has started this whole mess. Because if they acknowledge that that was a kidnapping, and that what she's doing is more likely than not a second case of trying to groom a minor, then they can't play her as the poor broken bird woobie whose sins don't count.

Here's a hint, this doubling down on the predator shit plus the woobie crap are how the episode does Charmcaster dirty. Especially when we pretty much just had a 'broken bird woobie is used by guy' storyline with To Catch a Fallen Star. We didn't need a second one, at least not so soon after. But no, somebody decided what we really needed was a storyline where they had Charm macking on another teenager, kidnapping a fucker to mack on, but it doesn't matter because she just so sad and lonely you guys, and the guy is such an asshole.

It didn't have to be like this. It could have worked. It could have been decent. Not good, but decent. Here! Here, I'll even give you three different ways the episode could have gone with these two that would have worked better.

~

1. You could have had Mike as the antagonist while not making Charm an asshole woobie-

Mayhaps he doesn't get knocked out, he's up and about to put on the charm when Charm shows up, talking his way into Legerdomain. He then proceeds to use what we recognize as his old tricks to get close to Charm and by extension the Alpha Rune, learning all he can along the way. Charm's loneliness makes her more susceptible, but there's not a romance or shit going on, she's just happy to have an apprentice/friend. Which makes it hit harder when Mike tries to usurp her and take the Alpha Rune and it's power for himself. For maximum effect you could cut out all the episode stuff with Team Tennyson, they only show up during the cold open and at the end when Mike's ass gets tossed out of Legerdomain like the trash he is. You still get Mike being his asshole self, but Charm isn't also being an asshole- better fitting with what they kept seemingly trying to do with her- and is sympathetic without being treated like a poor woobie who needs the Tennysons to help her.

2. You could lean more into Charm's behavior and have her as the antagonist-

Start everything as it is in canon, but her and Mike's second scene rather than being 'oh look at them bonding' Mike is still wary for quite obvious reasons, with the scene involving Charm realizing he's drawn to power and attempting to use it to bring him and keep him right where she wants him. After all she's fucked up all her other chances to have somebody around, and she says herself in canon that he's pretty, and we know damn well she's not opposed to forcing them to do as she wishes. Between her being willing to kill people and plying him with the promise of all the energy he could want, the 'oh I'm keeping you pretty boy' vibe from their first scene together continues. However the Tennysons get in- Charm learns Gwen's a target of Mike's and tries to grab her as added reward potential for doing as she wishes, they just manage to break in again like they did last time, whatever- they're surprised to realize that the one needing rescuing is Mike this time. You get to have Charm doing villain stuff without just immediately shoving it aside in favor of 'oh but actually don't worry about it isn't she sad', you can still keep her loneliness as motivation but with the added villainous edge they could never seem to keep themselves from doubling down on. You also get a nice different side of the issues seen in To Catch a Fallen Star, which still would be too close together but at least not functionally the same theme- this time with a woman in a position of power mistreating a guy, with a side bonus of 'even assholes can get mistreated and it doesn't stop being mistreatment just because they're assholes'. Something this show needs after some of the shit it did with Kevin's history with Charmcaster, boy doesn't even get to hate her without being labelled the problem.

~

3. You could play with both, keeping both of them antagonists-

Play it as in the last one, Mike is wary because of everything, Charmcaster has Intentions, and then it becomes obvious enough that Charmcaster is a great powersource that Mike's self-preservation instincts can't beat out his need for energy and Charmcaster can't miss that she's found a way to bring him in line without having to go full mind control. For the rest of the episode it becomes clear that they're both actively using each other- Mike trying to get one over on Charmcaster and trap Gwen as another source of energy, while Charmcaster- the one with all the actual power- has control over the situation, sees what Mike is trying to do, and plans to off Gwen and the boys to secure her power and control, keep him in line. Team Tennyson then has to wedge in and break apart this toxic little team-up/two-person nightmare- a fight that's just as much psychological as physical. Mayhaps Gwen spends it trying to convince Charmcaster that Mike's not worth the effort and she can do better- seems like what the show would do- while Kevin, as a Charm victim himself, tries to get through to Mike just how much a risk he's taking and how much it isn't worth it. Have it end with both of them defeated, with Kevin and Ben dragging Mike out of Legerdomain for very different reasons ('your own good and never make me care about that again' vs 'I do not want to have to have that fight again') while Gwen tries to talk Charm around again, only to get thrown out. Final scene is Ben suggesting they burn the Legerdomain portions of that spellbook, just in case.

This is just something I came up with randomly

(about chapter) so James. Is dying him and house are somewhere in the world they talk about there first kiss and James wants his last kiss

One last kiss

He didn't mind helping him around the small home they shared, he didn't mind staying up all night watching him sleep making sure he was still breathing in the morning, but one thing he found hard was how ill he looked how white he was. How skinny he got he barely could walk around with out a wheel chair

Night

That night they chilled out on the sofa house got Wilson to smoke some weed which he hated doing but it would help him with the pain and to get him chilled out they watched tv as Wilson coughed more house wiped the blood away from his mouth

(Wilson) I'm sick of this I thought my last 5 months would be fun at least but no I said looking at house who had deep black bags under his eyes,

(house) stop whining you've got cancer it's normal I looked at the man whose eyes were sleepy come on let's talk about something

(Wilson) I coughed again taking the glass of water what house passed to me. I took a sip. What about? I asked he looked at me I coughed again "who was your first kiss?" he asked and I smiled. Her name was Emily. Our kiss was in a park. I was about thirteen. What about you?

(house) I don't remember my first kiss "everyone remember there first" I rolled my eyes mine was in the back of the cinema I think her name was Holly I said thinking, oh wait no that, was her best friend my bad I said he then laughed but coughed. Careful I said looking at him

(Wilson) I want one last kiss from someone I looked at him with hope, and hope in my heart "I could order a hooker for you?" noooo I want a kiss that is going to mean something to that person

Half a hour later

(house) it was getting late it was around 11:49pm I looked at James his eyes were closed he looked so pale it was hard seeing him like that my eyes traced all over his face his hair was wet from sweat, his skin was white but I remember when his skin was perfect. wait his skin is perfect and then I move down. To his lips which was a deep red I looked at them thinking what it would be like to kiss them lips I brushed some if his hair away from his eyes which was a little long and starting to go grey he moved opening his eyes a little to look at me he smiled

(Wilson) I'm glad that you are here Greg I'm glad that your my friend even though most of the time you mess up but I love you. "what?" he said in a whisper night "wait don't sleep yet!" he said slapping my leg lightly but I'm sleepy I complained

(house) just wait I said I moved my body a little more down leaning over to him when I was face to face I leaned in and kissed his lips softly , he lips was warm but nice

(Wilson) I wrapped one of my arms around him as tightly as I could, wanting to feel his body. the heat from him. His lips were so gentle I parted my lips and his tongue slipped in dancing with mine we both pulled away after a little bit he blushed as tears filled his eyes which I know he cried lately I'll catch him wiping them away when I wake from a nap, he rubbed his eyes shutting them I rested my head on his chest as his hands went through my hair softly, I've wanted that kiss for so long.... Why's it gotta happen now I said tears filling my eyes which I let down crying into his chest he never said anything but shushed me softly knowing he felt the same

(house) life is cruel but here. Now that's what counts,. sleep. I said as he sniffled a few minutes later he was a sleep, I love you i whisper

"ppl who celebrate character birthdays are annoying pass it on"

FUCK this post, and Happy Birthday Neon Kurama~! ...right, so you know it's all gonna go horribly wrong, but she's our friend! We support her!

Spoilers, I guess...

-What a massive L the Jyamato have taken.

-Garden Grandpa has become Construction Grandpa!

-OOOOOOOH

-Oh hey Daichi. Just sorta hangin' around, huh?

-I don't blame you tbh, I'd be sitting on my ass too.

-April 4th! That's two days from now!

-:)

-Happy Basuday~!

-...:(

-They kidnapped the poor girl on her birthday.

-"What do you even get the Celebrity 'It' Girl who has everything? ...aside from loving parents, treatment like a normal human being, a boyfriend who isn't over twice her age, and a break from creepy weirdos on the internet?"

-...three, five, and seven, huh?

-Keiwa's just totally numb to all of Ace's... Ace-iness.

-Toro, toro!

-It's a Toreador! Just like the ones referenced in that indie horror game from 2014! Octodad: Dadliest Catch!

-...is this just the Seito/Touto proxy battle arena from Build? I think it is, at least, I'm probably wrong.

-Beroba continues to Bull-y Michinaga for her entertainment.

-Fight!

-I swear, by my sword and capote, that I will once again prove victorious!

-Bullfight!

-Rook! Bishop! Buffa! All the most powerful chess pieces!

-Shut the fuck up Chirami, you ain't doing shit.

-"Happy Birthday :)"

-Na-Go Stans are wildin'

-We win, we party!

-Hot damn, Keiwa!

-Oooooh, disarming yourself for a shot? Clever.

-Oh, whoops! Bero be cheatin', who coulda guessed!

-"You cheated. You didn't learn, you didn't improve."

-Oh God, Beroba's gonna leak her DMs.

-Gotta win!

-Oh hello, Kyuun.

-"A present! For me~?"

-"No! >:( ...Maybe :("

-You're so full of crap, man.

-Free Boost~!

-Sweet and salty! Just like sea-salt ice cream!

-Word of advice lads, be honest.

-OH FUCK, IT'S DAD

-...I think I forgot his name, I'm just gonna call him Papa Naoto until I remember it.

-You're only like... marginally better a parent than your wife, man. And that's only because you don't hit her or constantly try restraining her.

-...man, I just realized, Neon suffers trauma from being kidnapped at a young age and her mother just... holds her captive. Irony at its most fucked up.

-To be quite honest, I don't think Kyuun'd be much better company than Jeff Pesos or whoever Izumi had in mind.

-Man, these supporter plotlines are so interesting, holy shit.

-Ah, yep. There's Ace. Looking into it.

-"Geats. How unexpected."

-...Waaaait...

-"I've had quite enough of family matters from last season, thank you very much."

-KOUSEI, THAT'S HIS NAME

-Ace, you don't just walk up to a girl and lay her backstory out like that.

-I'll give Kousei credit, he at least seems legitimately worried.

-Doesn't even seem to have a scratch on her. Seems a little at odds with the depiction of the kidnapping itself, huh?

-Man... Can't even cake.

-Time for the mountain lion to descend upon the bull.

-...shit, that was lame. Pretend you never noticed that.

-OH?

-Okay, it's Ace time!

-Beroba's such a scrublord. Or uh... scrublady, as the case may be.

-Ooooooh, boy!

-Set!

-Dual On! Ninja! Magnum!

-Ready, Fight!

-Get splashed, idiot!

-"Two, huh?"

-Set!

-Ooooooh, he's not going into Laser Boost, okay!

-That's neat! They kept that suit around!

-PNGTuber Beroba.

-Ohhhhhh noooo

-You're an absolutely horrendous excuse of human being, Beroba.

-Great job Takahashi, banger villain. Especially you Namika-san, you're putting in a fantastic performance <3

-Ohhh, Ace is MAD mad.

-Everybody loves Na-Go-san!

-...holy shit, that is so cruel. They just

-Instantly went on a targeted harassment campaign.

-AKARI?

-Ohhhh

-...that's

-That's depressing as fuck.

-...that goes a long way to explain why Izumi was so controlling and Kousei dumped all his money into... I'm gonna be completely honest, what's basically a snuff film ring.

-Why would he let Giroli pick Neon to play then?

-"She was lying" SHUT THE FUCK UP

-Completely ruined my homegirl's life.

-Fucking MURDER that thing, Ace.

-Oh shit, Kyuun! My dude!

-Next episode.

-#NaGoSweep!
